Julia challenged us to use twine today. I don't have any but I do have this macrame cord. I put a drop of Crystal Effects on the knots of the bows to keep them tight. This also qualifies for Lois' challenge at Stampin B's to use pink, blue & green c/s. You can see challenge 75 here:
I got these cute chipboard buttons at Big Lots for $1. It's kind of a small flower pot for these giant flowers, but it's only a card!!! I found it was harder than I thought to get the right proportions when stacking c/s. As an after thought, I used post-it notes to mask off the c/s & stamp the small swirl on the vase.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.
I'll be back later to comment as DH need the 'puter.

What a gorgeous layout for the beautiful card, Bugzi!! So fun that you played along with the Stampin' B's challenge this week. Aren't those colors great?? I love your bunch of flowers in your handmade vase. Those flower buttons were a super find! Nice work using your twine (substitute). The macrame cord was a great idea
